Great central location to city shopping,the theatres and Southgate. Only a short walk from Southern Cross train Station. The room was nice and quiet and the bed was very comfortable. At check-in the staff member asked us our reason to be in Melbourne and when we said for our anniversary she offered us a voucher for 2 complimentary glasses of Mumm champagne!
The buffet breakfast that was included our booking made for a great start to the day.

It was central for my needs, within walking distance to Southbank and the city central. As a solo female traveller I felt safe and the staff were brilliant! Breakfast as an inclusion was an added bonus. I will definitely stay again and maybe even bring my husband next time!

Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

The room had a fold away bed which we did not order. There could have been 2 lounge chairs.
Breakfast was predictable and ordinary. The overall impression of the hotel was that it was tired.

Concierge were very helpful. The hotel was in a good location.

I wish we could have stayed longer.
Just a comment, more than a complaint, the reception would need a larger waiting area, that is always handy in such prestigious hotels, to hold an informal meeting while sipping coffee or just to wait for your ride to somewhere.

Breakfast is amazing.
Rooms are spacious, well equipped and noiseless.
Staff are professional and do their best to attend requests.
The building is very beautiful and the restaurants let the guests enjoy it fully.

Value for money. The rooms are quite dark and dated. Soiled couch. Just didn’t expect to see these things at this type of hotel.

Service was fabulous accross the board.
Location is perfect. Building is gorgeous.
